For those of you who haven’t heard of the term HIIT as it applies to exercise, the letters stand for “high-intensity interval training”. HIIT is a challenging mode of working out. It takes your workout to another level, as you push your pace out of your comfort zone. You can use HIIT with any type of cardio workout, whether it's running, using a stair climbing machine, rowing, or jumping rope. You can also do a strength-based HIIT workout, using dumbbells, kettlebells, or any other combination of resistance equipment. The idea is to work at a very intense level and then back off for a slower recovery period, followed by another round of high intensity. There are different types of HIIT workouts, such as Tabata, where you move very quickly during 40-second work intervals, resting for 20 seconds, and EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) where the work intervals are 60 seconds long. Using any of these, you’ll work up a sweat fast, challenging your body more than you think you are.
